Abstract
Indonesia has prided itself in being an active Troop Contributing Country (TCC) to United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions since the early period of its independence. The first Indonesian peacekeeping mission, known as Indonesian Garuda Contingent (IGC) or popularly known by its Indonesian acronym “Konga” I, comprising 559 military personnel, was sent to Egypt in 1957. Since then Indonesia has consistently participated in various UN as well as a number of non-UN peacekeeping missions around the world. In 2012 Indonesia had close to 2,000 military and civilian personnel in various UN peacekeeping missions stationed in Liberia, Lebanon, Haiti, South Sudan, Darfur, and Southern Philippines. Between 1957 and 2012 Indonesia has sent a total of over 25,874 personnel comprising mostly military contingents, observers, and staff as well as a few hundred civilian police to various UN and a few non-UN peacekeeping operations (PKO). To date 31 Indonesian peacekeepers have been killed on duty.1
